This is the first quilt I ever started.Throughout my youth, I had seen my mother make all kinds of pretty quilts and decided around 16 that I wanted to make one also. My mom helped me design the quilt in a new computer program she had. Once designed I did some math and we went to the store and purchased material. After we got home, I was all “Gung-ho” about making it, for about a week. I started cutting out the fabric but there were SO many pieces. Did I take on too much? This really was a time commitment… then my drive fizzled.

At that time I think I thought this might be the only quilt I ever make so I had better make it good. In hind sight I probably should have chosen an easier pattern with less peices. Five years after starting my first quilt and after starting and completing two other quilts I finally got back on the boat and finished this quilt. I was so proud when it was finally done! It’s very imperfect… just look at those points… but I like it anyway.

This quilt was finished eight years ago. Its a fun quilt and I will always love it because I designed it and it was my “first”. Now the quilt belongs to this sweet little girl. I hope she likes it.
Happy Tuesday!
